Wash County, Nagawaukee or Morningistar?

zer0 · August 15, 2014

Got my 5th annual Wisconsin golf trip coming up in a month and we always start out with a quick drive from the airport to Washington County for an afternoon round and the start of our weekend. We pick Wash Co cause its on the way to our home base in Green Lake and its a nice course.

Was wondering if it would be worth mixing it up and going to Morningstar or Nagawaukee instead for that opening round? I've heard Morningstar is nice, but a friend of mine said Wash Co is definitely better. Don't know anything about Nagawaukee and their website is terrible with no photos of the course, but a poster here wrote about it months ago so I figured I would ask about that one as well.

Not sure if you have seen this on Nagawaukee...I haven't played it in 10 years and can't speak for the conditions now but like the course layout.

Washington County. End of discussion.

Morningstar isn't worth the cost and Nagawaukee was never in great condition.

Morningstar had some nice holes with elevation changes, but that's about it. IIRC, didn't they want close to $85 for a round there? Heck no.

My in laws live in the area, so I play Nagawaukee once in a while. it's ok, nothing great. It can be pretty crowded and slow (which is better than hanging with mother in law). It's not great to walk if that matters to you. My favorite in the area is Brown Deer, which I really like. It's too far out of your way.

The problem is that Brown Deer is way too expensive if you don't have the County discount card.

Brown Deer is $70, which's a great deal compared to $50 for Nagawaukee.

[/quote]Absolutely!

$45 if you have the county discount card on weekends if you walk. I didn't think it was that bad of a course to walk.

I went to UWM so I would get done with classes around 10:30 or so and then head on over to walk 18. $40 on a Monday-Thursday!
